This combination of couture and class gives birth to a stunning collection of jewellery. Some of Vinnie Day’s clientele include Sienna Miller, Gwyneth Paltrow and Elle Macpherson. Vinnie has a special penchant for love of nature, especially trees. And, this is evident in the Petal and Leaf collections and the bead necklaces by the Samburu women in Kenya make up her designing trademark.

Vinnie Day’s designs are characterized by leaves, petals, hearts, charms, semi-precious stones of garnet, labradonite, amethyst and rotile. The jewellery is hand crafted and silver plated. Her designs are adorned in 24 carat gold and have a unique and distinctive texture to them. The silver is blasted from sand to get the desired Matt effect before it is gold plated. This makes the gold look like chocolate. Her jewellery line is alive with the rhythm of life and is constantly evolving. The petal collection especially is known for its rush of Spanish horses and designed for the Ferias in Seville. Many of her designer jewellery include Gold Plated Double Hoop Leaf Earrings, Gold Plated 3 Bangle Charm Bracelet, Disc Necklace Gold Plated and Boat Earring Gold Plated.
